It is a medical disqualifier. This is from DODI 6130.03, dated 30 March 2018. As for what terms to leave service, it will more than likely fall under a medical discharge.

Usually if the medical issue causes that service member to no be able to complete the requirements of service, it can be used as a disqualifier. Are you in a ROTC program?
